A Decision Under the Contract for
Building the Reservoirs.


Building the Reservoir.
In the case Of A. +. Canon against Pat
rick Maloney, Chief Justice Bingham in
the court in banc yesterday delivered the
opinion Of the court, dismisslng the bill
with costs. 1t was claimed that Messrs.
Maloney and Gleason employed the com.
plainant to procure for them the contract
for the work on the new reservoir, they
Promising 10 pay him $500 on securing the
contract and 10 per cent. of the profits.
1t was averred that he got the contract for
them and was in their employ until April
l, 1884, when John L. Herre.l, who was to
furnish the money and have a one-third
interest in the contract, and Gleason re-
tired, and one Peterson was to furnish the
money. He claims that Peterson and Her
rell are answerable to him. Maloney and
Gleason deny the employment of COM
plainant and charge that he was guilty OF
fraud, and admit that he was employed by
them In a clerical capacity.
His honor said that In Justice to the oili-
GERS whose names were mentioned the
court says the evidence does not show any
wrong on their part, but hat the contract

ACTIVITY In STOCKS.
Higher Prices Yesterday Than at Any
Time for n Week,

NEW York, Nov. Ia The stock market
to-day was more active than for some weeks
and prices higher than at any time last
week. The news Of the disturbances In
London yesterday led to the expectation
that prices from that center would be lower
this morning, but the reverse was the case,
and strong and active opening occurred
here. Considerable excitement attended
the early trading.
Further marked advances were made In
the first hour, after which there was .
heavy decrease In the amount OF business
done, though prices were well maintained.
Further gains were established In the af-
ternoop when the market became rather
feversh, but the best figures In several
stocks were made In the last hour, the
close being active and firm at or near the
highest figures Of the day.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 81 TO 5, last loan at 5, and closing
offered at 4. Sterling exchange Is steady

YOU SHOULD EAT OIL,
Mr.. John Chamberlln on the Great
American Disease, Dyspepsia,

American Disease, Dyspepsia.
New York SUM-
"Amercans as O class cat as much oil
with their salads as did the Venetlans In the
time of Medici," said John Chamberlin to
journalist the other day. "But 1t took a
great many years to overcome their early
Puritanical prejudices. In the minds of
the descendants OF the Puritans there was
a strong but tunconscientious association be-
tween Catholicism and French cookery, and
oil being extensively used by the French In
the preparation of their food, these descend
ants, like their ancestors, had a strong
aversion for It. To the Puritans popery
was the sum Of all abominations, and the
French people were to them the exemplars
OF popery. Therefore whatever was French
was strongly opposed by the Puntans. The
French were dancers, and the Puritans
were quite naturally opposed to 1t. In fact,
all OF our blue laws were compiled on a
basis opposing something French.
"Americans are cosmopolitan people
and made up Of the representatives OF all
nations. The Puritan is a representative of
England, because England Is, and always
has been since the reformation, anti,popery.
The test OF what was right was what the
Catholics did not do, They even re-
moved the cross from their churches be-
cause Catholics used tn sacred en-.
blem. The Puritan was never so
happy as when he was uncomfortable.
They imagined that to deserve heaven here.
after they were obliged to live IN sort OF
modified hell on earth. They rightly con.
cluded that dyspepsia was the best repre-
sentatlon OF the tortures OF the bottomless
| pit, and the surest way to contract 1t was to
| cschew oil In their salads, This Is the true
origin Of the American disease, dyspepsia.
"Salads, when droperly prepared, are the
most enjoyable part Of dainty dinners
| They are cooling to the stomach. They as
sist digestion, which is often needed after q
dinner of heavy joints aud side dishes
| They relieve the feeling OF fullness so often
| complained Of by fast eaters, and their
| preparation at table animates conversation
| When bathed In pure olive oil they become
| natures choicest gifts. Dyspepsia aud
| cranky, idiotic ideas are unknown to the
| lover OF well made saladu

Anna Abel has petitioned for dissolu-
tion Of the marriage bond uniting her with
James N. Abel, and asks permission to
resume her maiden name. Mr.. s. A. Cox,
who files the bill as attorney, states that the
parties were married in Georgetown Dec. G,
1886, by Rev. DR.. Lindsey, rector of St.
Johns Church. The wife cites a number
OF acts of cruel treatment, and charges her
husband with the death Of her infant to
which she gave premature death, aud de-
clares that she cannot live with him, for
her life would be In constant danger. She
further charges that he has committed
adultery with Mollie Booth and other
women.
Justice Merrick yesterday granted Dor
athea Chester divorce from John q. Chester,
giving her the custody Of the children. The
bill was filed by L. G. Wood as attorney, and
states that the petitioners maiden name was

with deserting her and their children.

that Mrs. Hitz signed deed making a con
